Today's Saturday morning Jiu Jitsu training was at the Untamed Jiu Jitsu gym in West Covina, CA. I used the massage stick before going to class, since I was stiff from yesterday's deadlift session. I did the warm ups, which consisted of bodyweight exercises, jiu jitsu movements, and stretching, along with 3 rounds of hip escapes.
The first lesson of the day was working on the outside leg trip with double unders to the mount position. After that, we worked on three full guard sweeps to the mount. The first sweep was a double ankle sweep when the opponent stands up from full guard. The next sweep was a tripod sweep and modified tripod sweep. Then, I got to roll for three rounds and then I did two rounds of hip escapes.
After class, I was helping out in the kids' class. I got to work on takedowns with my son. It was pretty cool, because I wanted to help him develop a single leg and double leg takedown game. It was a great father and son experience to share the mats with my son and at the same time help out the next generation of Jiu Jitsu.
